  1. Installing XP - 7 &10 on the same PC but on separate drives


    Hello everyone, I’m currently in the process of building a semi-retro machine - so far I have installed Windows XP on its own hard drive, after I installed windows 7 on a separate drive SSD I installed in that order Xp then 7 and the bootloader shows and is working fine both OS’s can boot up without any problems now I want to add a third separate SSD to install windows 10 on, would this cause any problems with the other two installs or vice-versa?

    How to install Windows XP on a separate internal h/drive

    Unplug the W10 drive. Plug in the drive you want to install WXP on, drop your XP cd into the cd/dvd rom, reboot the PC and if you see the words "Press any key to boot from cd" press any key on the keyboard to get started, and pray it installs.

    You will more than likely end up having driver problems, but good luck Installing XP - 7 &10 on the same PC but on separate drives :)

    I don't know why but the first image did not show the D: drive (where the XP system is installed). It probably doesn't make any difference but here is the rerun:
